Oceans of Cucumbers.

Fredericksburg, Va, has big pickle
factory that-is supplied with cucumbefs
from the lands adjoining the city. This
season the supply has reached 80, OOO, 600
cucumbers, those engaged i'm their pro-
ductiOn furnishing from 100000 to ,0OO,-
600 each. An acre will produce 100, 900.
and they sell in Fredericksburg at so
cents per thousand. The object is to
get them an inch or an inch and half
long, and this requires active picking
before they increase this size. A boy
will pick 5000 in a day. Picking them
thus early increases the prOductiveness
of the vine, and, while the season lasts,
others are appearing in place of those
taken from the vines.

Father.
Downingtown Archive.
A beautiful little girl was noticed
about the railroad station in this Dor
ough the other day who was full of life
and animation and whose efforts seemed
to be mischievOusly directed i'll hiding
from her father, who, in reply to aques-
ton, said the little girl had been his
travelling companion ever since she was
nine months old and had never been
sick, although constantly exposed to the
many changes incident to life on the
rail. He said he lived at Fort Wayne,
Indiana, and his business was that of a
car tracer. He Travelled in every direc-
ton in search of lost ears and was liable
to be ordered off at moments notice.
After search of many days he had just
found one of the Fort Wayne cars on a
siding near the Chester Valley station.
The little girl was only three years and
eight months old. Her mother was
pOwerless to control the child, and as
soon as she heard her father had been
ordered off she picked up her little
satch ell to be ready for the journey.
They were privileged to board any
train. whether limited, accommodation,
local or freight, and if they could not
find quarters in the cabin of the latter
they rode on the engine, where she slept
as nicely as on the seftest bed of down.

Denounced at Rome.

LONDON, May 1S.-The Chronicles
correspondent at Rome has received
proof sheets of the memoir prepared by
the Irish college, The document begins
by pointing out that in the Parnell or
Fenian movement interests far higher
and holier than the material advantages
sought for are at stake. Genuine Irish
grievances are no longer heard of. The
cry is for total separation having
replaced all others. What was
treason in the revolt of 1866, con-
demned by Plus TX, is now regarded
as mere matter of practical politics,
but, says the memoir, the acts against
morality and religion or peace of society
cannot, like the chameleon or Glad
stone, change hue, and the acts of Par
nell and his followers are still under
papal condemnation. 1t is not neces-
sary, therefore, for the pope to condemn
them, although, to quote the memoir,
their leader being free thinker and
outside the pale of the church,
is exempt from, but that does
not exempt his followers, who
profess to be Catholics. After con-
demning Parnell for association with
the apostles of violence, the memoir de-
clares that to accomplish his self-as-
Sumed task of breaking the last link that
uniteS Ireland to England, he has made
traitors of the masses of the Irish PEG
pie. The means by which he sought to
dissolve the union are denounced i'll the
most unmeaSured terms, while the
''tools' he employed to spread terror

AN OLD CLAIM.
The Government Asked to Pay &
Big Revolutionary Debt.

The Government Asked to Pay a
Big Revolutionary Debt.
PHILADELPHIA, May lS.-Miss Jane
E. Hall, of Montgomery county, Pa.
and married sister living in this city,
have instituted asuit to recover S4,000,-
900 from the United States government
The ladies claim to be lineal descend
ants of one Jacob DeHaven, wealthy
Frenchman who emigrated to America
and settled near Norristown in ante
revolutionary times. TIE story goes
that in III, De1Iaven loaned the col
onial government 100000 francs with
which to pay the troops. and during the
latter years of the struggle contributed
further money, food and forage.
During Washington's first admin,
istration Mr.. DeIIaven presented
his claims to congress, and they We're
allowed. but as there was not any sur
plusS those days, the claimant was told
that he must wait for his money. He
died before he received penny, and
for half a century the claim lay dor
mant Some time between 1850 and
1860, it is said the official records in
Washington were examined and gl sum
was appropriated to pay the DeIIaven
debt, but the claimants each fn-
sisting Oh priority, were SO many, and
the testimony as to descent from De
Haven SO poor that no division of the
money could be made, and the civil war
put stop to further proceedings in the
matter. Now, however, Miss Hall and
her sister insist that they can prove in
contestably that they are DeI1ayen's
true heirs, and they have placed their
claim in the hands of Norristown law
yer, with instructions to bring suit
against the government at once.

shaken up, while slight shock OF
earthquake of about three seconds du-
ration was experienced. At Swan
StrQm'S grocery store in OneOta, several
persons were found who had seen clouds
clouds of smoke and debris over mile
high in the direction of Spirit Lake.
Several windows were broken in OneOta,
and the signs of powerful atmospheric
disturbance became more and more fire.
quent as the travellers progressed west
ward lust beyond Oneota the smoke
and heat of the forest fires became
almost unbearable and many of the
nearly impossible. just after leav-
ing Spirit Lake station a group of men
was discovered in the center of the road
and in little cleared patch near by
stood the remains of the home of
Thomas Savors. Huge trees were
moved down like straws and saplings
were driven into the earth, while frag-
mentS were blown into trees and Stumps.
The site of the building is marked by a
big hole in the ground, roughly eSti-
mated at 100 feet long by 30 to
80 feet wide and an aver
age depth of about ID feet, while
at one point the depth is nearly forty
feet. Huge cracks extended into the
earth. A little stream near by was
blocked up and the usually clear water
was diScolored and sluggish. For about
mile southeast the surface of the
country was Strewn with huge Jumps of
red clay, some of which were
stuck full of slivers of pine boards
and fragments of trees and
timber. The building was one-story
frame structure, 20X40, and was used to
manufacture nitro-glycerine. The large
water tanks that formerly stood near the
building had totally vanished with the
exception of the part one plank, which
was driven into the earth. Twenty
nine large acid tanks were scattered
around. In one end of the building
was stored over four tons of nitro
glycerine. Of this amount of explosive
not trace remains. The boiler of the
works had been removed some days
previous to the accident, but portions of
the engine still remained before the eX-
plOSiOn. AS far as known the last per-
son in the vicinity of the building was
Ed Swenson, who lives about three
quarters of mile away. The loss is
heavy.

New YORK, May 1S.-Andrew Car

banner of freedonrwhether under chiefs or
under kings. Mr.. Carnegie's early life was
doubtless characterized by early freedoms.
The freedom from shoes and stockings for in

in his later years. accumulated wealth and
newly-acquired domestic responsibilities,

who know him best may feel that he has es-

COLFAX'S STATUE.
1t Was Unveiled With Appropriate
Ceremonies at IudianapoIiS.


INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, May 1S.-The
city is crowded with visitors, drawn here
by the ceremonies incident to the UNI
dveiling of statue of the late Vice
President Colfax. The exercises in
tcluded street parade, which was head
ed by platoon of metropolitan police,
followed by military companies and uni
: form rank Knights of Pythias, First and
Second regiments of Patriarch Militant,
subordinate lodges and encampment,
! state and city officers. The weather was
bright and beautiful, and the procession
moved promptly. On arrival at Univer-
Sity park the programme of unwilling
was opened with prayer by Grand Chap
lain Brewington, followed by music,
when the monument was unveiled by
: the president of the convention of the
Daughters of Rebekah. The monument
committee then made a formal presenta-
ton OF the statue to the grand lodge
i Grand Master Grant responded Oh be-
half of that body and was followed by
Grand Sire White, the ceremonies clos
ing with music and the benediction.
The pedestal is from design by "A. a.
Mccain, and is of granite from Oak Hill,
Me. 1T is symbolic in form. Three
blocks at the base, OH one of
which is the word "Colfax" in
raised polished letters, represent Faith,
Hope and Charity. The chief sideof the
die exhibits a scriptural scene repre-
senting Rebekah at the well, giving
drink to the servant of Isaac This is

are embellished with polished raised
emblems of other branches of the order
From the die start three columns, with
a plinth. These represent the princi-
pies of the Order-friendship, love and
truth. The tops of the columns are
Ornamented or covered with cap, and
Oh these rests heroic statue of ColfaX.
Including the bronze block on which
the statue stands, this is eight feet and
four inches high, while the whole Struc-

American who graduated at the Art
school of Paris first in class of sixty.
The statue was erected in University
park. The statue as unveiled was not
entirely complete. The pedestal is in
place, but owing to recent fire in the
foundry III which the figure is being
cast it was found impossible to COM
plete it in time for tO-day'S ceremonies,
and the place of the bronze figure was
necessarily occupied by aplaster cast
representing Mr.. Colfax. The bronze
figure will arrive in few days and be
placed in position. The monument cost

pended in commissions. The collection

sidered fair for centrally-located resi-
dence property in old and substantial
towns. Kansas City has, in short, passed
the booming period, and is now-being
swept with speculative fever of the
widest description.
There is no reason why such state of
affairs should exist in the metropolis of

metropolis of the Northwest. Kansas
City holds tributary TO herselfMo greater
territory than does st. Paul; her bust

simply that it is afflicted with craze,
which through the unhealthy imitation
of values cannot result in nythingbut
evil. 3
In St Paul, on the other hand, though
the natural advantages are as great, II
not greater, the prices of real estatesare
notmore than half as large, and yet there
is continued and steady increase, not
produced by either boom or Specula-
ton. that is an indication of never ceas-

y ST. Paul man. who is perchance a
little dySpeptic. writing to HENRY
GEORGES paper, the Standard, declares
that here in the Northwest, more than
in any other place, can be seen how the
grabbing up ofnature'S resources breeds
poverty for the million" He further
asserts that though a comparatively
new cOuntry.itS strides toward the pow
crty line are remarkable" Summed up,
his idea seems to be that the settlement
of the Northwest has been productive of
evil rather than of good, and that the
thousands of people who make up the
population of St Paul and Minneapolis
are Il very unenviable lot of individuals
indeed. No one. rot an enthusiast over
the peculiar land theories of HENRY
GEORGE. can fail to see the fallacy of
such assertions.
So far from the development of the
Northwest breeding poverty. it has
brought comfort and competency to
thousands. While doubtless occasional
instances of poverty may exist, they are
counterbalanced by the prosperity that
can be seen on every hand.
Where a few years ago natures re-
sources remained untouched, now.
utilized they give support to thousands.
SO far from the Northwest having made
strides toward the poverty line it has
leaped far in the other direction. and in
10 city i'll the country is the prevalence
of poverty less, the extent Of prosperity
greater, than in ST. Paul and Minneap-
oils. Every honest man, not afraid of
work, can obtain employment. and
every mans prospect for betterment
with the rapid growth of the country is
excellent, if lie deserves it. 1t is true
that forty years ago land values in the
Northwest did not exist, but were
the people any better off for
that fact? 1t must be very
blind person indeed who will assert that
The Northwest of that day, practically
minhabited, was preferable to the
Northwest of to-day, containing two
cities whose aggregate population COM
priseS 100000 prosperous people.
There are drones in every hive, but
those in the Northwest would not make
the complaint of poverty had they taken
advantage of the opportunities which
We're presented TO them as we'll as to
their more industrious neighbors.
Taking the Northwest as q whole, how
ever it may appear to believer of the
GEORGIAN theory. the people themselves
DO not observe any remarkable strides
